Multi-builder Ethereum block construction goes live on mainnet
- —About 3% of Ethereum blocks in the first 24 hours were assembled via multi-builder construction
- —More than 20,000 transactions were included faster since testing began in late August
- —Up to 810 transactions were added in individual blocks, with gas up to 14 times higher
- —The initiative was coordinated by the Blockspace Forum: 32 teams, over 95% of out-of-protocol contributions
Why it matters: MPBC reduces the risk of block-building centralization and transaction censorship without requiring a hard fork, changing the economics of MEV and transaction inclusion order.
